5. ML jflvd m Patented Nov. 15, 1932 UNITED sTArss r ANNIE L. HERTZBERG, or UQA'KIQANDJQAIIFORVNIA V srun'r Application filed February 27, 1932. Serial. No. 595,492.

This invention is an improvement in shirts vide a shirt collar and neck band of low cut V type which will not have the inherent tendency of separating, the usual detachable collar having a tendency to creep over the neck band.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the following description is read on the drawing forming a part of this specification and in which similar reference characters are used to designate similar parts throughout the several views of which:

Fig. 1 is a pattern view of the collar showing the anti-creep means and the specific form which causes the collar points to lie flat on the chest of the wearer while the collar back lies fiat on the back of the neck.

Fig. 2 is a front perspectiveview of the collar attached to the shirt and showing the upstanding back and chest conforming collar points.

Fig. 3 is a side view of Fig. 2. V

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 with the collar removed.

The collar is cut to such form that when worn with a shirt 11 having a V cut neck, out very low on the chest of the wearerand edged with a neck band which is very high at the back with the buttonhole 14E placed close to the top edge, the neck band tapering curvilinearly from the back to the front ends 15 which lie flat on the chest of the wearer and stitched flat to, and on the bias with'the front button panel, will cause the back of the collar to extend above the coat collar, prevent the sides of the collar from creeping up over the neck band and cause the points 16 tolie flat,

on the chest, gradually conforming to the back and sides of the neck of the wearer, the collar gradually curving both ways at about the indicated dotted line 17 Tojobtain this conformation the" special neck band Fig. 4 is required in conjunction With the special form of collar shown in Fig. I

1, in which the collar portion proper is sub.-

stantially straight between points 18 and 19,,-

thencecurving outwardly and continuing in toa reverse compound curve forming the points 20 and 21, the collar portion proper increasing in width from the center at the back tothe points, the lower edge 22 being concavously 1 formed, the collar complementarily formed at its upper. edge.

The collar band is similarly formed to the. neck band, being 'very'high ati'the back,

but has the'buttonhole 23 located near the lower edge insteadof. near the upper. edge as in-the neck band. The collar band lower edge is concavously formed at the back as indicated at 24, continuing into reverse curves in both directions, being very wide at 25. and 26, which port-ions continue into reverse curves at 27 and 28 and erminate in com-' paratively narrow button tabs 29 and 30 which are provided with buttonhol-es 31 and 32, the points of the collar being retracted P from the ends of the tabs as indicated at 33.

band being Whenworn, the back of the collar extends V comfortably above the coat collar 34 as shown in Fig. 3, while the front end andpoints lie flat'on the chest, as also do the button tabs of 0 both, the collar band and neck band.

The collar is obviously cool and comfortable and not adapted to creep over the neck band, a fault common with the usual detachable collar, the specific form of both, collar and neck band obviating any tendency of such nature. The pointat which a collar customarily creeps is in the vicinity of 1316 in Fig. 3, at which point the collar band and neck band are unusually wide, and corresponds to the areas and 26 Fig. 1.

I claim: 7

1. In combination with a shirt having a low cut V neck, and provided with a neck band comparatively high at the back with a' buttonhole located adjacent the upper edge a collar comprising a collar portion and a neck band'portion, said neck band portion continuing by compound curvesinto broad portions to prevent creep and continuing into comparatively narrow tabs extending beyond the collar portion.

2. In combination with a low cut V neck shirt, a neck ban-cl on said shirt comparatively high at the center and having a buttonhole adjacent the upper edge, continuing into narrow buttonhole tabs with intermediate wide, a collar portion and ing of similar form to the neck band of said shirt except having the rear buttonhole located adjacent the lower edge.

3. In combination with a shirt having a low cut V neck, a collar comprising a collar portion gether, formed at the seam, said neck band portion being complementarily formed at the seam, the neck band portion b-eing'comparatively Wide at the center and having a greater Width portion on both sides of the center' and continuing curvilinearly into comparatively narrow tab portions, said tab portions continuing beyond the ends of the collar portion, and a. neck band of similar form, for said low cut V neck, said great-er width portions formprojecting anti-creep portions at the ing points which are normally most subJect to creep, and the specific form of the neck band portions causing the points of the collar portion and the tabs to lie fiat on the: chest of the wearer.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
